The World Health Organization has found that the Japanese as a nation in the first place when it comes to the lowest rates of obesity in developed countries, with only 3% of overweight, as opposed to America with obesity rates of 33%.
Their way of cooking is based on very sound foundations: raw or steamed food or food prepared in the wok. Such a diet does not contain excess calories, no harmful fats, no use of oils, most of the fish meat that is eaten raw as sushi and sashimi. Source of protein and omega fatty acids are fish and mushrooms, a source hydrate, fiber and vitamins is rice, buckwheat noodles and steamed vegetables. Natural green tea as a beverage has a special place in Japanese culture. Portions are moderate, no overeating, the body is not struggling to digest food and that’s why you are constantly energized and rested.

ADA BOJANA – fizička i mentalna aktivnost na pravom mestu
Puno ljudi letuje na crnogorskom primorju a malo njih zna šta nudi Ada Bojana i kakvim se prirodnim fenomenom smatra. U ovom tekstu ćemo preneti utiske o skorašnjoj poseti Adi Bojani njenim prirodnim lepotama ali i naravno spotskim i rekreativnim aktivnostima koji se organizuju na njoj i njihov benefit na samo mentalno i fizičko zdravlje čoveka.
Jednostavno aktivni odmor predstavlja pravu stvar ako niste u fazonu izležavanja na plaži ceo dan, prženja na suncu i klasičnom odmoru na koji većina ide. Aktivni odmor predstavljaju aktivnosti koje se upražnnjavaju kako bi naš odmor učinile što zanimljivijim i produktivnijim. Pešačenje, trčanje, hiking, ronjenje, veslanje, yoga na plaži, fitnes, kiteboarding, surfing… i mnoge druge aktivnosti predstavljaju akrivni odmor.
Ada Bojana sa svojom peščanom i širokom plažom do Ulcinja u dužini od oko 10 kilometara predstavlja idealno mesto za jutarnje trčanje po pesku. Ada je idealna izolacija i beg od učestaih gužvi na malim plažama, idealna je za kampovanje i učenje novih veština kao što je Kitesurfing. Za punjenje baterija, beg od stresa i svakodnevne gradske buke, tu je svakako BODY, MIND & SOUL – YOGA UZ PSIHOTERAPIJU. Moj prijatelj i stvaralac ove izvanredne priče Joga na Adi Bojani, Siniša kaže:
….”Da dan započinje osmehom, koji traje najmanje do zalaska sunca.
Zamislite sunce koje miluje, nepregledno prostranstvo mora i peska, horizont.
Popodnevni zvuk zrikavaca, vetrić koji vam ne da da se oznojite. Ušće Bojane u more, posebna priča… Onima koji nikad nisu bili, mogu da kažem da je to nešto što podseća na Indiju, Vijetnam, Brazil. Ada Bojana ima posebnu energiju. Tamo su lica razdragana a koraci lelujavi. Vreme je irelevantna kategorija. Ekipa koja se okuplja na događajima je specijalna. Ima dosta njih koji dolaze samostalno. To su otvoreni i topli ljudi. Mi se družimo i sklapamo prijateljstva. Mi delimo iste osećaje – SREĆU ! Budite i vi srećni, pridružite nam se!:)…” aktivniodmor.net
Naizgled tiha, mirna i uobičajna atmosfera sa dolaskom vetra pretvara se u dinamičnu i neverovatnu jurnjavu zmajeva. Kitesurferi su ceo dan čekali vremense prilike da svoje zmajeve puste, a oni koji tek uče trenutno će se samo zadovoljiti upravljanju zmaja na pesku dok ne steknu osnovno znanje i nauče prve korake kako bi počeli vožnju kajta na moru. Kajt klubovi i barovi raspoređeni na svakih 100ak metara predstavljaju chill out zonu za sve ljubitelje dobrih koktela i kvalitetne muzike.
Verovatno najveći izazov za plivače je ulivanje reke Bojane u more. Slatka voda se uliva u slanu a morske struje prepliću sa rečnim. Plivanje je otežano struje vuku na svoju stranu ali svakako 20ak metara do druge obale prosečnom plivaču ne bi trebalo da predstavlja problem. Adrenalin je svakako prisutan. Duž Bojane sa obe strane su prelepe sojenice na vodi, od kojih su neke privatni smeštaji ali dobar deo prelepi i veoma pristupačni restorani. Nautika je veoma prisutna od taksista na vodi do kajakaša i glisera koji daju dinamiku ovom prelepom prirodnom fenomenu.
Ako se odlučite za kampovanje u šatoru, kao što sam ja imao prilike, tu su vrhunski kampovi sa kupatilom, restoranima, internetom, hladovinom pod četinarima i plažom na nekoliko metara od kampa. Cene uređenih kampova nisu baš male (10ak evra po danu), ali za uzvrat dobićete odličnu uslugu. Tu su i divlji kampovi duž plaže pa ko voli avanturu i potpunu izolaciju nek izvoli, ima i to prednosti.
Sve u svemu spoj divljine, prirodne lepote same delte, predivnog zalaska sunca, dugačke peščane plaže, mešavinu raznih kultura i jezika, izolaciju od zidova i asfalta… ovakvo letovanje će totalno promeiti vaš pogled na kalsični odmor i uvesti vas u nešto što predstavlja Aktivni Odmor i spoj prirode i čoveka. Na Adi Bijani ćete upoznati sebe!
I evo za kraj kako izgleda jedno jutro ili bolje reći zora na Adi Bojani 🙂
